Hey, Joe have not seen you in a long time man. How is school coming along? For me, its been tough to keep up with school, work and well everything. College is really challenging, it really gets under your skin. I did not like the accuplacer at all because I am not a good test taker and I panic on timed tests. Not only is the accuplacer annoying it was inaccurate. Many of my friends have taken it and they scored higher than me, which is a bunch of none sense because I know I'm smarter than them. I just do not get why the test uses computer generated tests, it should be based on grade and a face-to-face questionnaire for those who are stronger in those testing areas; or at least multiple tests. I mean come on, a timed test with twenty-five of yours high school buddies sets up you up for failure. Not only that but for the retake you have to wait six weeks and also pay a fee. I think they should have slip up people who know each other and change that stupid retake rule. The whole test is a joke; I missed the passing out of English and math by one or two points, it is just a bunch of government nonsense. I know some people guessed on it and they still scored higher which does not make any sense to me because test should not be based on guessing. It should based on your intelligence and critical thinking, but hey, that is just my opinion. Now, I understand that this test is used to place you in the right class but it also does not work because dumber people can still score higher by guessing. In conclusion Joe, this test makes me mad and it was a waste of time. Peace.
